Hello everyone, and I hope you are all doing well during our ongoing pandemic battle wherever you are. We have been making the most of our time in isolation, making improvements in the art studio so we can offer you more SPACE ART!

The Latest Addition to the Space Art by Christopher Doll Studios

Last October we found a great commercial-grade printer for the studio. We are now offering our own line of archival prints in-house. This is a capability I have wanted for a long time, and I am excited to now have the ability to run large prints on multiple mediums.

It’s also a fantastic tool to help me with my own artwork and illustrations.

The printer is very large and it took us a bit more effort to physically move it into our studio space than we’d expected. Once in place, and after the expected fiddling with network settings and color profiles I manged to run the first test print.

Some of you may recognize the John Berkey painting, The Visitors. It’s long been one of my favorite paintings by John Berkey and I chose this one as the first test run. A while back I happened to find an excellent image of it and while it required a bit of careful up-sizing to match the original size, the print is phenomenal. I once saw the original on display at Paul Allen’s Science Fiction Museum in Seattle (around 2002 or so) and I always wanted to see it up close and at its original scale – for my own study only.

NOTE: Just to be clear, this is a test print for studio use only. I will not be printing or selling any other artists’ work, just my own.

I will be adding print options to many of my pieces in the Space Art Store. And if you are interested in a print of my work that isn’t posted, drop me a line!

To celebrate the new printer I will be giving away a free full-size print of some of my artwork on my Twitch Livestream. To enter the giveaway, just join me this coming Wednesday 6pm PST. One of the lucky viewers will win a print of my painting, Approaching a Derelict.
